Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord, Jesus Christ!
Somehow last evening while checking some email I managed to stumble across the website of 'PreacherBen' and it led me here. What a tremendous blessing to have found others who truly share the path.
A bit about myself and family -- My name is Deanna, helpmeet to Dewey and momma to our 8 blessings, ages 18 down to 8 months. We have only recently relocated here to Mississippi. The Lord moved us here in late March (perhaps I'll share that story some time...it was totally the Lord's moving in our lives that brought us here).
We homeschool our children, we are striving to live a simple life inasmuch as we can in our present circumstances here. We believe in dresses-only, headshipveiling and homeschooling for our family. We are currently in a Baptist Church, having come out of an independent fundamental Baptist church up north. We also were very 'into' the tape ministry of Charity, and stil are to some extent, but we have always viewed it as anything else in our lives -- find the meat and spit out the bones Much has been gleaned from their tapes, but alas, doctrinally, we steered clear.
Our daughters are growing up seeing their momma cover full time and dress modestly, yet the conviction is not fully their own yet and they are sporadic with their covering (we only allow dresses, other than a single pair of pants that Dad allowed for fishing down here...ticks and snakes being what they are in the South, kwim?)
I'm so glad to be here. I can't wait to meet everyone!
